Old Time Pipelining. (part 2)

This is a continuation of our Old Time Pipelining Series that we're bringing to you here at Construction Fun. Building pipelines in the United States and Canada is a time honoured tradition. As you can see in this video, the machines may look older, the clothes may be different, (and the photos are blurrier), but Pipelining is Pipelining. The men seen in these images did the same jobs day in and day out that men and women are doing across North America and the world, today, tomorrow, and into the future. As long as people continue to drive cars, heat their homes, or use plastics and rubbers, and regardless of what each era's political climate looks like, blue-collared workers building pipelines will always be needed.
We do not claim ownership of any of the images seen within this video. Copyright remains with the owners of the images. We have made this compilation video as a respectful homage to the hard working men and women of the past and to educate those of the present and future. If any of your images are shown here and you would like to have them removed, simply e-mail us and we will accommodate your request.

A lot of that machinery got repurposed in the end, some of it still runs. Dad's got a Fordison Major bulldozer that was used out West for this in the 30s or 40s, and it's got tapped holes all over it where it's been modified for different tools over the years, from cranes to generators to welders. Everything cast iron. Still fires right up, he uses it as a farm generator in case of emergency. Love that machine, it's how I learned diesel mechanics.
